According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the fishing and the weather is rapidly returning to some normalcy for the area and is beginning to feel like the summer rains have finally given in to the good fall conditions. "We are not experiencing good fishing with multiple strikes on both, sailfish and dorado, and even a few blue marlin are in the mix of the strikes. Our offshore waters are clean and clear and the ocean is pretty calm. We are seeing some floating logs that are carrying some good numbers of bigger dorado, (30-50-pounds) and the fishing opportunities are expanding by the day. The inshore fishing has not yet returned to the good roosterfish catches we were having prior to the Jova Hurricane, as the inshore water clarity has not quite returned to normal but it is getting better with each passing day. We are catching a scattering of different inshore fish that included Sierra, bonitos, jack cravelle and a few roosterfish, so things are inching back for that area, too.

IZ Climate: Mostly sunny days with some passing clouds and temps that ranged from 72 nights to 92 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Rapidly getting back to near perfect with flat seas and good temps that ranged from 83 inshore to 8f offshore.

Best Lure/Bait: The rigged baits were doing well for the billfish and dorado and live bait was doing best for the inshore fishing.

Best Fishing Area: The offshore fishing started at about 10-12 miles from the Zihuatanejo Bay entrance.

Bait Supply: The bait supply continues to be readily available for both, live bait and rigged baits.
